Madman Entertainment's handling all their Hasbro series poorly:Quote:

Madman Entertainment doesn't seem to really care about their (non-anime) cartoon series, their Cartoon Network label was even worse. Only the older cartoon series released on DVD via the retro line seem to be the exception.
I've seen Seasons 1 and 2 at JB Hi Fi, but Season 3 isn't out yet. However it is on JB Hi Fi's database and thus available for preorder w/ $5 deposit (I've already preordered mine). :)
I'm having mixed feelings about seeing Madman releasing these. I like how Sony DVDs have more language options -- switching on subtitles are useful for when I'm watching the show after the little one's gone to bed. Sony are really good w/ including subtitle options w/ their DVDs (my Beast Machines DVDs all have sub options too), whereas I find Madman don't bother providing subtitles on titles that don't have non-English audio options ... despite the fact that subtitles are also used by the hearing impaired (and there are deaf TF fans out there; I've come across 2 in Australia). :rolleyes: But on the other hand, Sony TF DVDs lack special features, which Madman are typically better at... it'll be interesting to see what goodies they've packed with their Animated DVDs, especially if there's any exclusive bonus content (which they have done before for other TF DVDs, e.g. Beast Wars). I'm not going to re-purchase Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD just to watch the bonus features (I'll probably borrow it off someone else later on :p ;)).
Either way, I'm totally stoked about FINALLY owning the third season on legit DVD!!! :D
